, l l'13e it known that I, `ROBERT kWenen More,

GAN, 'a citizen of the United Statestand a resi-A dent'of NewYork, inthe county of New York and*A State of New York, have invented certain new andy useful Improvements injOheck-v Books,'of. whichthe following is a speciitra-` The invention relates to improvements in check booksl kand particularly to improve? men-ts in. pocket check .books and consists .es-'

's sentially in a book each leaf of` which,isrulcd tts vzo'

on its obverse and reverse faces to constitutestubs and deposit columns respectively and providedwith a pad of checks, thelatter corresponding 1inl number with the4 number of stubs exposed on the leaf adjoining and, the

pad beingsecured in a hinged manner at-its outer'edge to its leaf so as to normally/'cover the deposit column whethen the book is open or'closed and to becapable of being turned outward from over said deposit column when desired. n f e checkbook of a size adapted to be carried in A the pocket, and which possesses all of therfacilities' for complete and accurate entries in a thoroughly convenient form.

A further object of the invention is to prof `duce a pocket check book of desirable form and which iscapable of being manufactured and soldat a'reasonable price, the form, ar-

rangement and construction of the parts of the bookbeing such as to render the article convenient in use and. easy of manufacture wlthoutwaste of material.

I spaces. .-Fig. 2 is a perspective yview of said book disclosing the pad ofchecks folded inward over the spaces for the deposits and balances and showing one corner of the individual checks turned upwardfor clearness of illustration; andlig. 3 is an edge view of one of the leaves of same.

p Y s C, as shown in Fig; l. The object oftheinvention is to produce a l -In the drawings, IA, B, designate thecovers of the book, said covers beingoblongin. out-k line and having bound between them the series of leaves C, each of which hasat its outer verticalnedge the folded section or lip D upon which is secured thepad E of 'individual checks.

the reverse face ofjeachleaf are the printed deposit spaces or columns G.

The foldedsectionor lip D is .preferably substantially the j [same in size and form as the checks E which it'carries', "and is also 'substantially co-extensive with the mainfbody of the leaf upon 'whichI it is folded, being simply slightly less in vwidth thanjthe leaf. The padE of checks Vis secured upor the outer vface of the folded section D, so that vwhenth'e latter is folded upon the main body ofthe leaf,`or leaf proper, the deposit columns will be covered and the checks will face upward opposite to' the stubs F on the obverse Aface of the'adjoining leaf The adhesive substance used to pad 'the individual checks will be applied alo'ngthe edge a and also preferably along the edgebof the checks, andhence it will appear obvious that the pad of checks, with the section D, may be turned over and outward .in a hingedmanner tofreely expose the reverse face of the leaf-or deposit columns Without danger of the checks beingpaccidentally detached by rapid. or' careless handling.

Each of the pads E will contain'as many checks as there are stubs on the adjoining leaf C, and' in the present instance, as shown,

' each pad consists of four individual checks leaves C with their padsfE will be fully used one after another in succession, the deposits and balances being carried on the deposit columnsG. 'j f I do not limit theinvention to the use of any special number of checks in each pad E nor to the number of stubs F on each leaf C;

each of which is providedon its outer edge with the hinged pad of separate independent checks facing upward when the book isopen it York and State 1ot' New York, this 30th day and retained together by adhesive material applied at the edge of the pad, and each of which leaves bears on its obverse face stubs l and on its reverse face the deposit spaces;

substantially as and for the purposes set forth. 2. The cheek book composed of the leaves each of which is provided at its outer vertical edge with tlieinwardly folded section and bears on its one face the stubs and its opposite face the deposit columns, combined with said folded section; substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
